Portsmouth recently provided food for our group. I was pleasantly surprised how accommodating the chef was and made a vegan option. It was delicious. Even the meat entrees looked and smelled great and the others i was with were all raving about the food. 5* and highly recommend!

If you are looking for an amazing caterer… look no further. Portsmouth catering blew it out of the water and did the most amazing job for our rehearsal dinner. We did a platted dinner and every meal was beyond good.every guest loved and raved about their meals. Planning with Michael was so easy and smooth. We created a menu that worked for everyone and fit a seasonal theme. You won’t regret hiring them for your next event. I will be raving about their food to everyone and anyone that needs catering.

Michael and the team at Portsmouth Catering Co were wonderful to work with and we loved the food at our wedding! From initial outreach, to menu planning, and the big day, Michael and the team made the process, fun, stress free, and left us feeling thankful for everything! We loved the food but were also very appreciative of all Michael’s guidance and patience with our venue. His help and responsiveness made a big difference! Thanks for making the process fun, and of course, for the late night spudsters that all our guests loved! We still have people talking about the crab Rangoon and phat Thai!

We had fun working with Michael and crafting our own menu that reflected our favorite foods. Michael was flexible in giving suggestions and allowing us to make changes along the way. Everything is reflected in Honeybook and we encourage you to check that for updates. Michael is fun to work with and his food is delicious! We still have people raving about our food weeks after the wedding.

I’ve taken a while to write a review on Portsmouth Catering Company, particularly because it took 4 months to actually “settle” everything.First things first, Michael tried to withhold our refund, unless my wife “agreed” to not write a bad review. She didn’t really answer whether she agreed to that, but nonetheless, she can only speak for herself and there are consumer laws that allow me to write a truthful review. So although we think they screwed up a lot more than what I am going to mention, I will stick to the main points that were Portsmouth catering companies fault.There is a huge lack of communication from Michael which was the main problem that led to the many other issues.Our coordinator who recommended PCC told us after we had these issues that communication isn’t their strong suit. Which would’ve been nice to know before.When we booked Michael, we discussed our venue and who we had as our wedding coordinator(that recommended him). He told us he had worked with them multiple times before and there were no issues. ONE WEEK prior to the wedding he told us that she isn’t technically the type of wedding coordinator we needed and that was the reason for his poor communication and it was our fault for booking him without a coordinator.Months prior to our wedding, we had an in person meeting to try the food, where we decided what we wanted and what we didn’t want. Michael took notes but must have lost them because our guests were not served what we picked out that day, leaving incorrect sides served on our wedding night. He blamed us because supposedly on his online site he uses, he never updated what we had agreed on in person.The food was served cold, and he even admitted that the first person who was served said that her food was cold; don’t you think if the first person says it, everyone’s food would be cold?Aside from the food, we had over 30 guests tell us how rude one of the bartenders where. At one point, guests were told to save their plastic cups “to save the planet”, which we had supplied plenty of, and we ended up having hundreds of extras. I’m not the health department, but i don’t think they would think that it’s very sanitary.In the days following wedding day, Michael emailed us, before we reached out, and offered a small compensation for the inconveniences. We wrote back with a list of all the issues we encountered with his service and asked for a reasonable amount, but that is when he started to point the finger and refused to offer more then the small 8% refund.4 months later and multiple emails asking him to send the check, we finally got it but not after an email trying to get my wife to agree that we won’t write a negative review, or anyone associated with us. But, if I read this review before hiring him, we probably wouldn’t have. It makes me wonder if I’m the first person he has dangled money over.So this is definitely more of a “truthful” review, rather than a “negative” review because there were plenty of other issues we had with Portsmouth catering company that I could write about in a negative review.

We hired Portsmouth Catering company for our wedding, and the results were delicious. We had some unique challenges in terms of food allergies, and not only were they handled, but the quality and taste of the food was not impacted in the slightest.All of the staff were professional and helpful, and we didn't notice a single issue with the flow of food and drinks all night.Further, the staff did a wonderful job of keeping themselves and our guests safe attending even our small event in the current unique world state.I would whole-heartedly recommend them!

Michael and his team were incredible. The menu they created for our wedding was spectacular - everything was so fresh and flavorful. His staff was so attentive and kind, I could go on forever! I recommend this catering company so genuinely, I'll never stop raving about them! What they delivered was beyond all expectations - it was fantastic!!! 10/10!

Michael, Deb, and the entire Portsmouth Catering team are a dream to work with! As a wedding planner, I work with a lot of caterers and working with them was one of the best experience I've ever had. My clients picked Portsmouth Catering after being dissatisfied with the initial caterer they had chosen, and they were super excited to have found Michael. Leading up to the wedding, Michael and Deb were extremely communicative and fast to respond. They hadn't worked at the venue before, but took the time to visit in person and become familiar with the space and the kitchen so that there were no surprises day-of. On the day of the wedding, they arrived on time and took the time to review the timeline with me to make sure we were all 100% on the same page. The food was absolutely incredible and all of the guests were raving about it! They went above and beyond throughout the day to make sure me, other vendors, and of course the couple and their guests were supported. I cannot recommend Portsmouth Catering enough - they are truly a dream to work with, and I hope to have the chance to work with them again soon!

Everyone was amazing!!! My wedding guests could not stop talking about how delicious the food was! They made a completely custom menu for us and our casual style. The waiters were so friendly and genuinely seemed happy to be there. They even rebagged all linens, dirty dishes (after rinsing them) silverware, etc. which made the next day so easy for us! Highly recommended!

The catering for our daughter's wedding last weekend was superb! Our guests commented on how fantastic the service was and we had many comments on the delicious prime rib and appetizers. Working with Liberty Lane was a pleasure - very professional and attentive to detail.

Thank you Kevin, Kelley and Liberty Lane staff for providing us with an array of food and drink that we are sure to remember on our wedding day. We had a buffet style meal which was delicious and Kelley was extremely helpful throughout the whole process. Right down to the very details, she was always on top of things. For example, she helped us come up with our yummy pumpkin signature drink and helped with finding and purchasing a special candle for our nephews 5th birthday, which we celebrated as well that night. Wedding planning can sometimes be a stressful time so it was greatly appreciated that all of these small details and more was taken care of and handled so smoothly. Recommend Liberty Lane to others!!
